[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

A fictional, or perhaps factual conversation.


Husband says to wife........" Darling, Is it really so important to you that when you look out of the bedroom window each morning you see a brand new latest registration car on the drive"?

And his wife indignantly replies.........."No of course it isn't. Just how shallow do you think I am. What is important to me is that our neighbours look out of their bedroom window each morning and see a brand new car on OUR drive".

The woman from across the road said more or less that to us a few years back ....... she wasn't bothered what the badge was as long as it was only a few years old. And she worked at the school around the corner .... it's that close you can hear the kids in the playground .... but she drove there.

the lazy ...... but warm & dry option  Needless to say I got a phone call yesterday morning .... I dropped it off Mon tea time .... to say they caouldn't find a problem, though when I started it after it'd sat for a week, it was as low as it could be on the FOS.

They've phoned me ..... apparently it does drop over night  I did offer the photo of it on its bump stop 

It's 'only' the valve block ......... it's only 3/4 of the original guestimate

A little.

I can vividly remember when I saw my CLS sagging at one corner.

'I can really do without this shit right now'....was my first thought.

Still, it's only money Mr B...eanz, and £1000 is back of the sofa money for a man of your wealth.

Know the feeling, read an article about Mercedes having problems with coolant leaking into the auto box wrecking it approx £3000 to repair mostly C classes but some E class around my year can be affected, the suspect cooling system are Valeo , the Behr system is fine what a feeling of relief when I found the Behr logo on mine.

My first thought too. At least it's not my only car & I'm not stuck for getting to work.

I wish  ...... but as said, it'll 'only' be about £750

Two nights overtime then...

Maybe a couple of week ends ........ but Sundays are a rarity these days

Must admit dad always had a new car every two years-Humber Super Snipes from the late '50s to '67-but then they were company cars.Last company car he had was a Ford Mk4 Zodiac Executive which lasted him to early retirement when he went out and bought his own car a 65 Silver Cloud III.
